Internet Key Exchange (IKEv1 and IKEv2) implementation for IPsec
Description
Libreswan is a free implementation of IPsec & IKE for Linux. IPsec is the Internet Protocol Security
and uses strong cryptography to provide both authentication and encryption services. These services
allow you to build secure tunnels through untrusted networks. Everything passing through the untrusted
net is encrypted by the ipsec gateway machine and decrypted by the gateway at the other end of the tunnel.
The resulting tunnel is a virtual private network or VPN.
This package contains the daemons and userland tools for setting up Libreswan.
Libreswan also supports IKEv2 (RFC7296) and Secure Labeling
Libreswan is based on Openswan-2.6.38 which in turn is based on FreeS/WAN-2.04
